Description

Book Synopsis
Explores the process of tribal self-definition. Focusing on architectural and interior designs, as well as performance styles, this book reveals how a complex and often surprising cultural dynamic is created when Native Americans create lavish displays for the public's participation and consumption.

Trade Review
Public Native America is a rich, thoughtful, and compelling book [that] joins a growing body of interdisciplinary, theoretically informed work to make sense of how and why Indians and Indian tribes labor to affect how they are acknowledged and understood in a variety of ways and with myriad outcomes in mind. * Cultural Critique *
